  • Excellent book--perfect for the design student

    I purchased this book for a class I am taking this semester, but also because I realized it would be helpful later in my studies. Francis D. K. Ching writes excellent books about design and construction, so I knew this book was perfect for what I needed. As with other Ching books, it includes many hand-drawn diagrams and typed up notes that go along with them. I highly recommend this product for any students studying building design or architecture, as it considers both the construction design and the laws that are in place controlling the design-such as ramp heights for people in wheelchairs. 5/5 Would read again

  • Good book

  • Excellent building/construction reference

    The book is very good, even after being an architect for 30 yrs I still occasionally reference this book. My complain is with the rating system of used. The book was used much more than the rating system indicated.

  • Great!

    Great book for an intro to construction! Fantastic graphics and very detailed. It even includes building codes and talks about green technology.
